NOBODY, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY Let me convey a fable unto you. Shall I narrate with an analogy or employ the blunt of essence? Embedding should be great too. During an era of the unknown ages, in the middle of nowhere on planet Somewhere, there lives nobody. Nothing will turn something and something wouldn't be a constituent of everything except anything emerges to make one thing. Evolving came as a science and somebody deemed exist when nothing was expected. Actually, something sprouted and everything came into existence. It didn't stop there because anything got birthed in the process. Nonetheless, nobody wanted to be as somebody wants nobody. A game of minding your business without payimg attention to the within. Unknowingly, the synergy of the two facets makes everybody. Yet, anybody remains an outcast. Who will listen to the words of an insane being? Obviously, no sane man will take that serious. War surfaced somewhere. Somebody got called from nowhere to make peace. Lead not the attack and defend not the fort; the rule of peace. A situation which nobody can handle justly because everybody will get accounted for it. Focus was pivoted onto proferring solution but one thing was not making it to the picture; anybody. One to the other, things got intensified and everybody bacame a victim. Something on the way lost off its owner and nothing was left as everything was make a loot. "This won't last forever and this may be forever. Yet, somebody needs to do something." anybody whispered. This traveled through the air into the depth, like the riverbank breeze where even the sun will melt it beneath the skin surface. "Can anybody do this and let's make a do?" a loud echo traveled through. Somebody was confused over the voice but kept mute to witness what next. "No! That's a bait. Don't go for it. You will be more casted out than before. No one will ever take serious of you again. Just watch. You need not do it. Somebody will do it." those were running through anybody's mind. He wanted to give in because he has always trusted his mind. He wanted not to betray his mind by listening but something pushed him and never knew how he walked up the multitude. Agape were mouths from the assembly. Who would have believed it? Nobody. Perfectly like though he owns expertise in it, anybody manned the moment. Peace reigned. He made it seem as though everybody knew not of the right but he pleaded to their conscience to not feel that way; for the moment will be the moment. Harmony returned and everybody was happy - like a toddler jumping on buttocks. Later, anybody was announced the hero and the voice echoed to the planet somewhere as thus "Somebody just did it!" Anybody earned an identity. Above, is an analogy of what happens to every individual at the bit of doing something, either new or modifying. Often, life present the uncommon. Yet, something, the mind, will say no but another thing, the guts, will push us ahead. Despite, it should be noted that it will not always be but the push is a way ahead. Then, we earn our identity. "Nobody will be somebody except anybody do something." - Ridwan Oladimeji Ojo ©Ridwan Oladimeji Ojo @hodzoporium
